Directions
Shredded Beef or Pork Chimichangas, This is the one recipe everybody asks me for. This recipe is an all day project. It is well worth the effort. If you have a large freezer, you’d probably fill it up with these. The kids can eat these when they come home from school, a quick dinner when you don’t feel like cooking, etc. When I tripled this recipe I started at 10am and finished around 6pm. I made about 60 of these. I roll up the sleeves and make these about twice a year. There is always a family gathering on the night they come out fresh. Bet you can’t eat just one!, The flavors in this were fantastic! Next time, I will do it in the crockpot so I can just “set it & forget it”., I’ve been using the same ingredients in Mexican food for years. I also coated the meat with olive oil, the spices, chunks of onions and garlic, and a can of green chilies. After roasting I chopped up the onions and things, shredded the meat, and mixed it all together. Then I put a layer of refried beans on the shells, put the meat on top of that, added some cheese, rolled them and then sprayed each shell with olive oil and baked until browned.
